6. WHO WE MAY SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

We use facial recognition services to provide our services which requires disclosure by us to AWS of your photograph(s). This provides us with facial analysis and facial search capabilities for us to detect and analyse faces in order to provide our service. We have provided further information about this under 'Facial Recognition' below.

7. FACIAL RECOGNITION

When you take part in an event where we are providing our services, you will have signed up to the Event Organiser's terms and conditions which state that photography will be taking place. You will also see signage saying that photography is in operation. Our facial recognition technology works by detecting faces from cameras placed around the event.

 

You may also choose to upload a photo of yourself using a mobile device (a “selfie”) for the purposes of matching it to photos where that same face appears.

These images are transmitted to our highly secure cloud server where they are converted into a set of facial measurements. Those facial measurements are then compared to photographs participants have submitted to us if they have chosen to purchase photos from us. The data is instantly deleted if there is no match. Your personal data will only be used by us to identify your image if, when you registered, you chose to purchase photos and provided us with a photograph, and your consent, to enable us to identify you.

Facial measurements used for the purposes of identifying individuals are 'biometric data' under data protection legislation. We obtain your consent to our use of biometric data as described above when you provide a photograph of yourself to be used by us to provide our services.

7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA

FGT generally does not share or transfer any customer visitor or supplier personal data outside of the UK and EEA. However some software providers are located, or store customer data outside of those jurisdictions.. In such instances, FGT will ensure that appropriate safeguards have been put in place to ensure that adequate protection is afforded to personal data being transferred, for example by ensuring the relevant contract includes the standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.
